Food served to thousands of participants can have a considerable impact in terms of emissions generated, wastes produced and resources consumed. Considering all the aspects involved, from the procurement of food to the handling of the wastes produced by catering services and the traffic generated by their transportation, the impact can be substantial. At the same time, catering otters many opportunities to minimize the negative impacts and involve the local community.
Management: Give preference to caterers who have an environmental policy/management system in place; employ people with difficulties in accessing the labor market; and incorporate fair and equitable Working conditions.
